到目前为止，生物运动的研究一直局限于显示人类拍摄（或计算机合成）与连接在主要关节灯。观察者可以很容易地从这些显示中提取含义。目前还没有研究通过评估观察者仅根据生物运动识别各种动物的准确性来评估这种能力的普遍性。报道了一个实验，其中生物运动显示器是由迈布里奇在上个世纪所做的停止动作显示器创建的。当生物运动显示器被动画化时，天真的观察者可以可靠地识别出所涉及的动物，但当他们看到点位置的静态视图时，就不能了。因此，解释生物运动的能力是普遍的，并不限于人类运动。
To date, studies of biological motion have been restricted to displays of humans filmed (or synthesised by computer) with lights attached at the major joints. Observers can readily extract meaning from such displays. There have been no studies to assess the generality of this ability by assessing observers' accuracy in identifying various animals solely on the basis of biological motion. An experiment is reported for which biological-motion displays were created from the stop-action photographs''taken by Muybridge in the last century. Naive observers could reliably identify the animals involved when biological-motion displays were animated, but not when they were given static views of dot positions. Thus the ability to interpret biological motion is general and is not restricted to human movements.
